Design thinking, with its focus on local expertise to uncover local solutions, allows high-impact solutions to bubble up from below rather than being imposed from the top. It provides both a way to create and sustain broader social inclusion. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/jocelyn_wyatt_design_thinking_for_social_inclusion
